Choose your bathroom

If you are like me and you love to spend some time in your bathroom, then I might think you will enjoy my post of today.

There are so many beautiful bathrooms. To my opinion you should have 2 different bathrooms at your home. A classic styled bathroom and a contemporary styled one.

Depending on your mood of the day, you could take a bath in your classic styled bathroom, listening to some classic music or you could choose to take a bath while listening to lounge music in your contemporary styled bathroom!

In this post I show you some images of bathrooms I really love!

I love the warmth of this bathroom by bringing in a lot of wood as the bath paneling and the wooden shutters.

Are you agree with me that this bathroom is a wonderful place to spend some time?

A bathroom with a fire place! Must be very cosy in winter time!

I so love to see a bath standing free in the room. And the chandelier above the bath tube is just gorgeous.

A combination of paneling and wall paper.

The arched mirror is repeated in the design of the stone at the bath tube.

A wall papered bathroom. Why not?

Bathroom of Brooke from Velvet and Linen

I so love the carpet and that beautiful stool Brooke has brought in here! It feels as if you are walking in a kind of living room.

Light oak for the cabinets and paneling. Very Belgian.

However it was not described, I might think that in this bathroom the Morrocan tadelakt technique is used on the walls and for the bath tube as well.

I definitely would go for this technique if I had a second bathroom. If you want to know more about tadelakt click HERE, HERE and HERE.

I do hope you enjoyed my post of today and I would love to hear from you which type of bathroom you prefer.

I also love to tell you that Holly of the blog THINGS THAT INSPIRE posted a most interesting post about French Windows HERE. Don’t forget to read her post this weekend!

Lovely Bathroom Products

What a few weeks it's been! Between all the rain that California has received and my laptop that has crashed, I'm ready to move forward into a fun, happy, problem-free Spring! :)

I’m reorganizing all of my resource binders as well and as I came to the bathroom resource binder, I ran across the most lovely products and photographs. I want to share them with you here. If you need inspiration for your bathroom, there are some very unique products for you to consider.

The Water Monopoly Copper Bath with Thick Roll

This original French double-ended copper bath is so romantic and such a statement in this bathroom. Did I just say bathroom? Does anyone have a bathroom like this in their house? This is more the size of my living room!

The Water Monopoly's Bateau Bath

A reproduction of a late 19th century French double-ended bath, individually cast in iron from recycled brake discs. I love this even more than the copper bath above. All that is missing are some French Fauteuil chairs, a glass of red wine and 100 votive candles.

Sherle Wagner's Marble Tub with Claw Feet

This tub is amazing!! I thought I loved marble countertops, but this is over the top, don’t you think? How luxurious, how grand, how incredibly ostentatious! I want one!

THG Paris' Papillon Lav Set

As part of their Lalique line, these beautiful butterfly faucet handles are more like delicate perfume bottle toppers than what they are really are. Not for the little boys room!

Ann Sack's Poly Stone Mosaic

This white and pearl stone mosaic is so beautiful. It would make a beautiful floor or backsplash tile. It would be beautiful in a shower or framing a mirror. Check out Ann Sack’s entire stone mosaic line. They are all incredible.

Short and sweet for this one folks! I’ll be back soon with more goodies now that I’ve got my computer back! (yea!)
Have an incredible week!

Directions

My life is like a sailing ship
depending on the winds
to take me where I want to go,
sometimes the winds
are in my favor.
Other times they're not.
And when the gales
of adversity blow
the winds I can't control,
but the set of the sails I can –
for that, and not the
direction of the wind,
is what takes me where
I dream and plan to go.

Why not take a bath in a wooden tub?

First of all I have to give you the answer on the question of my earlier blogpost "Who might be the designer?" Yes a few of you had guess the right answer. The designer of the house is Axel Vervoordt.

My earlier blogpost gave me inspiration to the blogpost of today. When I saw the picture of the bathroom with the wooden bath tub, I tought to share with you some wonderful wooden tubs.

The tubs can be made of oakwood, teak or mahogany.

So make your choice!
